Aftercare Program Accepting New Registrations!

Parents of Kindergarten children can choose a full day option for their children on any of the days that the child is enrolled in the morning program. The program is a play-based approach that follows the rhythm and feel of their morning. A typical day would unfold as follows:

  • 12:15 - 1:00 - Eat in the Kindergarten
  • 1:00 - 2:00 - Rest time or quiet play typically in Kindergarten
  • 2:00 - 2:30 - Artistic activity or outdoor play
  • 2:30 - 3:00 - Outdoor play

Children are to bring their own nutritious lunch.  Families typically enroll in the full day option for the year; drop-in spaces may be available depending upon enrollment.

The additional fee for full day Kindergarten children is approximately $15 per day (beyond tuition costs).  Families enrolled in this program are eligible for the BC Childcare Subsidy, which can cover a significant portion of the fees. For more information or to apply for the childcare subsidy, visit the Ministry of Children and Families website.  To register for the Sun Haven program, email Rhoni Whyard at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

A Midsummer's Eve Gala Success!

On Saturday, June 19, we celebrated the school's 2nd annual Midsummer's Eve Gala.  It was a beautiful evening of great people, delicious food, lively music and lots of fun.  There were about 115 people at the Gala, which was double last year’s attendance.  The silent auction was amazing with over 60 donated items. Thank you to Sue Millar, the silent auction organizer, and all the parents and staff who contributed to the silent auction.  The support from the community was simply wonderful. Thank you to all those who worked hard to make this year’s Gala a success! Once all expenses were accounted for, the Gala raised $4100 for Sun Haven Waldorf School.  Many thanks to everyone who came out, contributed, and volunteered their time for this wonderful event.  Click here to see our photo gallery from the 2010 Gala.

Love of Nature

My son's love of nature has only grown since joining Sun Haven Waldorf School for kindergarten in 2008.  The fact that the school encourages an exploration of and curiosity about the natural world only solidifies my resolve to expose him as long as possible to this education.  And the fact the school is right across from the beach sure doesn't hurt!

We Made the Right Choice

It was a huge leap of faith for us to switch from public school to a Waldorf School, but after having both of our daughters at Sun Haven for a full year we know we made the right choice.  Our oldest daughter, Maggie, loves being part of a small class and feels that she’s part of a school community – both of these things have made a noticeable difference to her self confidence. Our youngest, Molly, came to the school brimming with self-confidence and we’re finding that it’s being channelled in a really positive way. Her natural creativity and energy isn’t being squashed - it’s being nurtured. These things matter a lot to us. We appreciate the way in which the Waldorf approach adapts to accommodate the individual strengths and personalities of our children.
